Chilton County is a perfect 8-0 against Pelham since February of 2017 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. A feisty cat fight will be fought as Chilton County Tigers challenge Pelham Panthers at 4:30 p.m. Chilton County is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.8 runs per game this season.

Chilton County saw some tournament action on Wednesday. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Cleveland, sneaking past 4-3.

The team relied heavily on Anna Cate Burnett, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Ishunti Brown, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-3.

Chilton County was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .393. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .355 or higher in three consecutive matchups.

Meanwhile, Pelham waltzed into their contest on Saturday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They walked away with a 6-2 win over the Cavaliers.

Taylor Howard was a standout: she went 1-for-2 with one home run. That home run marked the first that she launched this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Emery Plunkett, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.

Chilton County is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 17 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-4-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. Pelham pushed their record up to 8-12 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home.

Both Chilton County and Pelham just can't seem to miss. Chilton County has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.2 hits per game. However, it's not like Pelham struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.8 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Chilton County was able to grind out a solid victory over Pelham when the teams last played back in February, winning 9-6. Does Chilton County have another victory up their sleeve, or will Pelham turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
